Club career
Born in the Netherlands, Hassan moved to England at the age of 8.[1] He played youth football for Leyton Orient, Queens Park Rangers, Tottenham Hotspur and Saffron Walden Town.[2]
Hassan began his career with Chelmsford-based club Springfield in 2019, making six Essex Olympian League appearances for the club, scoring once.[3] Later that year, Hassan signed for Hornchurch. He was an unused substitute in Hornchurch's victory over Hereford in the 2021 FA Trophy Final.[4] During the 2020–21 season, Hassan was loaned to Tower Hamlets, making four appearances.[5] In September 2021, Hassan joined Redbridge on loan for a month,[6] before signing for Barking in October 2021.[7]
In December 2021, Hassan joined AFC Sudbury.[1] On 28 June 2023, he joined seventh tier Isthmian League side Hashtag United.[8] At the end of the 2024–25 season, after 90 league appearances and 22 goals for the club, it was announced that Hassan would leave the club.
On 16 June 2025, Hassan signed for National League side Wealdstone.[9] On 25 October 2025, Hassan scored his first league goal for Wealdstone, as well as recording three assists, in Wealdstone's 4–2 win against Sutton United.[10]
In March 2026, Wealdstone announced that Hassan would not feature for the rest of the season, after taking part in the indoor six-a-side tournament Baller League for Prime FC, in breach of his contract.[11]
